An Evening with The Avett Brothers

This performance is made possible in part by the generous underwriting of the Renjilian Family.

This event is sold out.

Returning to Chautauqua after their 2016 debut, this beloved group will have both new and returning Chautauquans singing songs of raucous joy and true sadness. The music has roots in traditional folk and bluegrass, but also ignites the energy and no-boundaries attitude of rock & roll. Their most recent album, True Sadness, dominated multiple charts and garnered overwhelming critical acclaim. Rolling Stone extolled it as “Their most heart-baring LP,” while People claimed, “The sincerity of the lyrics keeps the boys true to their roots.”

“We made this record as people who have made records together before — with experienced hands, appreciative hearts, renewed focus, and the knowledge of our good fortune to make music once again.” —The Avett Brothers
